can be connected to a KGPSA-BC or KGPSA-CA PCI-to-Fibre Channel host
bus adapter or an HSG80 array controller.
Each switch, except the DS-DSGGB-AB, has a front panel display and four
push buttons that you can use to manage the switch. There are four menus
that allow you to configure, operate, obtain status, or test the switch. You
manage the DS-DSGGB-AB through a Telnet session after the IP address
has been set (from a PC or terminal).
Each switch has a 10Base-T Ethernet (RJ45) port, and after the IP address
is set, the Ethernet connection allows you to manage the switch:
•
Remotely using a Telnet TCP/IP connection
•
With Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
•
Using Web management tools
______________________
Note
_______________________
You have to set the IP address and subnet mask from the front
panel (or from a PC or terminal with the DS-DSGGB-AA) before
you can manage the switch through a Telnet session, SNMP, or
the Web.
The DSGGA switch has slots to accommodate up to four (DS-DSGGA-AA)
or eight (DS-DSGGA-AB) plug-in interface modules. Each interface module
in turn supports two Giga Bit Interface Converter (GBIC) modules. The
GBIC module is the electrical-to-optical converter, and supports 50-micron
multimode fiber (MMF) using the standard subscriber connector (SC). Only
the 50-micron MMF optical cable is supported for the TruCluster Software
Products.

Note
_______________________
If you need to install additional interface modules, do so before
you place the switch in an inaccessible location because you have
to remove the top cover to install the interface modules.
The DS-DSGGB switch accommodates up to 8 (DS-DSGGB-AA) or 16
(DS-DSBBG-AB) GBIC modules.
